A CO<sub>2</sub>-independent cloud mask from Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) radiances for climate applications
Abstract 2, N2 O, CH4, CFC-11 and CFC-12 absorption lines and those corresponding to the ν 2 2 O absorption band. As a reference dataset for the training, version 6.5 of the operational IASI Level 2 (L2) cloud product is used. We provide different illustrations of the NN cloud product, including comparisons with other existing products. We find very good agreement overall with version 6.5 of the operational IASI L2 with an identical mean annual cloud amount and a pixel-by-pixel correspondence of about 87 %. The comparison with the other cloud products shows a good correspondence in the main cloud regimes but with sometimes large differences in the mean cloud amount (up to 10 %) due to the specificities of each of the different products. We also show the good capability of the NN product to differentiate clouds from dust plumes.
